About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they have a child who struggles with traditional reading but lights up during art time or when given a sense of agency. This interactive graphic novel is perfect for the child who is frequently told to stop doodling on their homework and instead needs a safe space where their creativity is the engine of the story. It is an ideal bridge for reluctant readers who feel overwhelmed by dense blocks of text. In Doodletown, an alien invasion isn't just something to read about, it is something the reader must solve by drawing ladders, navigating asteroid fields, and making branching choices. The book fosters a sense of resilience and creative problem solving, as kids must literally draw their way out of sticky situations. Geared toward the 6 to 10 age range, it transforms the act of reading into an active, high energy game that builds confidence through artistic contribution.
